The risk of high blood pressure significantly increased with age (p< 0.0001) Proportion of hypertension was higher among 71 (36.8%) adolescents, who were physically inactive as compared to 41 (13.6%) physically active adolescents which was found to be highly significant.[ OR= 0.26 (0.17-0.4) p < 0.0000001].The major risk factors was additional salt intake (p < 0.00013) & papad/pickle intake(p < 0.0080)OR = 0.59 (0.38-0.90) found to be significant.
